It just seems that to most Christians the Christian roots of a holiday are more important than their secular significance, and that in modern times many holidays that do have Christian roots are secular holidays, and therefore they're not being "polluted", just celebrated. Also- while the founding fathers were Christians, that doesn't mean America is Christian. And International Elephant Appreciation Day is a real holiday. I didn't make it up, it's really on Sept 22.
